“…Developmentally, relational aggression is important for researchers to examine during adolescence for a number of additional reasons. Adolescents are focused on a number of key developmental tasks—including the development of identity, intimacy, and autonomy—which may be related to the development of relational aggression (Coyne & Stockdale, in press). For example, normative beliefs are created in early to middle childhood but can still change substantially throughout the course of adolescence (Werner & Nixon, 2005).…”

Most researchers on media and aggression have examined the behavioral effects of viewing physical aggression in the media. Conversely, in the current study, I examined longitudinal associations between viewing relational aggression on TV and subsequent aggressive behavior. Participants included 467 adolescents who completed a number of different questionnaires involving media and aggression at 3 different time points. Results revealed that viewing relational aggression on TV was longitudinally associated with future relational aggression. However, early levels of relational aggression did not predict future exposure to televised relational aggression. Conversely, there was a bidirectional relationship between TV violence and physical aggression over time. No longitudinal evidence was found for a general effect of viewing TV, as all significant media effects were specific to the type of aggression viewed. These results support the general aggression model and suggest that viewing relational aggression in the media can have a long-term effect on aggressive behavior during adolescence.

The extant literature suggests that relational aggression appears in early childhood, and gradually increases throughout adolescence. However, very little research has examined the growth of relational aggression from adolescence to emerging adulthood. In addition, research generally examines socializing factors of relational aggression, such as parenting, peers, siblings, or media in isolation. Accordingly, the aim of the current study was to examine these socializing factors conjunctively as predictors of the growth of relational aggression over time. Participants consisted of 500 adolescents who completed several questionnaires over a 7-year period (between ages 14-20 on average). Results revealed that the vast majority of individuals (88%) showed low levels of relational aggression that decreased over time. Conversely, a small proportion of individuals (12%) had high, increasing levels of relational aggression between adolescence and emerging adulthood. High levels of maternal psychological control, sibling hostility, and relational aggression in the media at the initial time point all predicted being in the high and increasing group.

The majority of the existing research on media aggression has focused on media violence and its effects on physical aggression. However, scholars have recently focused their attention on other forms of aggression in the media, such as social aggression, and its effects on viewer attitudes and behaviors. Indeed, several content analyses now show that social aggression in the media is commonplace and the way in which it is presented makes it likely that children will imitate such behaviors. In support of social cognitive theory and the general aggression model, both surveys and experimental research demonstrate that exposure to social aggression in the media is related to subsequent aggressive behaviors among youth. These findings have important implications for theory building and public policy.
